Non-commutative differential geometry allows a scalar field to be regarded as a gauge connection, albeit on a discrete space. We explain how the underlying gauge principle corresponds to the independence of physics on the choice of vacuum…
The Bogomolny equations for Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles follow from a system of linear equations which may be solved through a parametric Riemann-Hilbert problem. We extend this approach to noncommutative R^3 and use it to (re)construct…
Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be torsion groups. We prove that the monoids of product-one sequences over $G_1$ and over $G_2$ are isomorphic if and only if the groups $G_1$ and $G_2$ are isomorphic. This was known before for abelian groups.
We call a singularity of a presymplectic form $\omega$ removable in its graph if its graph extends to a smooth Dirac structure over the singularity. An example for this is the symplectic form of a magnetic monopole. A criterion for the…
The dual complex of a singularity is defined, up-to homotopy, using resolutions of singularities. In many cases, for instance for isolated singularities, we identify and study a "minimal" representative of the homotopy class that is well…
On a smooth closed oriented $4$-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a compact Lie group $G$, we define a $G$-monopole class as an element of $H^2(M;\Bbb Z)$ which is the first Chern class of a $G$-equivariant Spin$^c$ structure which has a…
We consider a general ansatz for solving the 2-dimensional Hitchin's equations, which arise as dimensional reduction of the 4-dimensional self-dual Yang-Mills equations, with remarkable integrability properties. We focus on the case when…
Starting from a 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie group N endowed with an invariant SU(3) structure, we construct a homogeneous conformally parallel G_2-metric on an associated solvmanifold. We classify all half-flat SU(3) structures that endow…
We study closures of GL_2(R)-orbits on the total space of the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of curves under the assumption that they are algebraic manifolds. We show that, in the generic stratum, such manifolds are the whole stratum,…
We consider lattice implementation of the recently proposed gauge invariant definition of the monopole charge. Because of the lattice discretization the algorithm gives rise to specific lattice artifacts and an effective Ising model. The…
This note surveys the well-known structure of G-manifolds and summarizes parts of two papers that have not yet appeared in print: one with joint with J. Bruning and F. W. Kamber, and another with I. Prokhorenkov. In particular, from a given…
It is conjectured that there exist finitely many isomorphism classes of simple endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of GL_2-type over \Q of bounded dimension. We explore this conjecture when particularized to quaternion endomorphism…
Associated to a convex integral polygon $N$ is a cluster integrable system $\mathcal X_N$ constructed from the dimer model. We compute the group $G_N$ of symmetries of $\mathcal X_N$, called the (2-2) cluster modular group, showing that it…
Our primary purpose is to study a class of strongly coupled nonlinear elliptic systems with critical growth in a compact Riemannian manifold with constant scalar curvature. Using a gluing technique and perturbation arguments, we show the…
Z(n) monopoles are important for the understanding of Goddard-Nuyts-Olive duality when the scalar field is not in the adjoint representation. We analyze the Z(2) monopole solutions in a SU(n) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory spontaneously broken to…
For a compact spinc manifold $X$ with boundary $b_1(\partial X)=0$, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in $L^2_1$ (i.e., $W^{1,2}$) Sobolev regularity. We prove they…
We classify nilmanifolds admitting invariant cocalibrated $G_2$-structures
We study periodic monopoles satisfying some mild conditions, called of GCK type. Particularly, we give a classification of periodic monopoles of GCK type in terms of difference modules with parabolic structure, which is a kind of…
We prove the existence of novel, nonminimal and irreducible solutions to the (self-dual) Ginzburg-Landau equations on closed surfaces. To our knowledge these are the first such examples on nontrivial line bundles, that is, with nonzero…
We consider some infinitesmal and global deformations of G_2 structures on 7-manifolds. We discover a canonical way to deform a G_2 structure by a vector field in which the associated metric gets "twisted" in some way by the vector cross…
